FAQs

Are these gloves waterproof?

No, the SHIMA Sonic gloves prioritize ventilation and are not waterproof.

Can I use these for winter riding?

They are designed for summer and will not provide sufficient thermal insulation for cold weather.

How do I determine my size?

Use a measuring tape to find your hand circumference at the widest point and refer to the official SHIMA size guide.

Does the Touch Tip work on all devices?

The Touch Tip works on most modern capacitive touchscreens, though thick screen protectors might reduce sensitivity.

What is GFLEXX technology?

It is a proprietary SHIMA protective system that provides impact protection while maintaining flexibility for the rider's hand movements.

How should I clean my gloves?

Use a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary; avoid submerging them in water or machine washing them.

Troubleshooting

Touchscreen sensitivity is inconsistent

Ensure the Touch Tip fabric on the index finger is clean and dry; sweat or dirt can interfere with conductivity.

Gloves feel too stiff initially

This is normal for protective gear; wear the gloves for several short rides to allow the materials and armor to mold to your hand shape.

Wrist strap keeps loosening

Check the hook-and-loop patch for lint or debris and clean it with a soft brush to ensure a strong grip.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent ventilation for hot weather riding
  • High level of agility due to flexible armor
  • Touchscreen compatible fingers
  • Lightweight and breathable materials
  • Secure wrist fit

Cons

  • Not suitable for cold or wet weather
  • Limited coverage for off-road environments
  • May require a break-in period for the armor to conform

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the best fit, measure your hand circumference and length against the brand's size chart. When first trying them on, ensure the GFLEXX armor sits squarely over your knuckles. The hook-and-loop strap should be adjusted so the glove is snug but does not restrict blood flow.

Care Instructions:

  • Clean the gloves using a damp cloth or a specialized leather/textile cleaner.
  • Allow to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can degrade the protective materials.
  • Inspect the stitching and armor placement after every significant ride to ensure integrity.
